Black Friday.

NO.

I'm not shopping.

Like, ew!

It's not worth it. I worked at the restaurant from 9:45 am to 7:30 pm, so even if I wanted to shop, my legs wouldn't hold me up. Also, it's cold, right, and fighting a herd of people already happened from 9:45 am to 7:30 pm.

Blurry cell phone pics are the best!!

But afterwards, I had dinner with my family who was kind enough to wait for me. It was homemade pizza. There is a reason we had pizza today. See, my little brother (I don't know why I call any of my siblings "little"--they are all TALLER than I am) decided to join the Marines one day, and he won't be home for Christmas, and the weirdo doesn't like turkey, so we're switching our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yep. Our Christmas dinner tradition is always homemade pizza. It's awesome.

Oh and I took a shower, and brushed my teeth, and went to bed. Unfortunately, my brain is too fried from work, plus I have a stuffy sinus thing going on, which is soooooo annoying. So I can't sleep. So now I'm sleepy-angry.

It's like, I've blown my nose at least thirty times in the last three hours, and used up half the toilet paper, and I'm so so so tired, and, like, HOW IS THERE STILL SNOT IN MY BODY?

Sometimes, my friend takes pretty pictures of me.

"Can dogs rap? Of course they can. We've all seen them throwing it down, tossing it up, hounding, pointing, beagling, and boxing in our back streets and front parks. Here's the story, told in his own words, of one rising dog star."  (inside-front flap)

Maybe my Christmas present to you will be to rap this book to you. Hahaha!
